The Pennsauken-based company's website said the discounter operates 28 stores - including the two that closed - in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, New York, Michigan, Ohio, Illinois and the District of Columbia.

Locally, there are three stores in Northeast Philadelphia along with stores in West Philadelphia, Glenolden, Vineland and Wilmington. No company official was available to comment on how many people lost jobs at the stores. - Jane M. Von Bergen
